Callee’s Courage: A Young Mom’s Fight Against Breast Cancer

At just 32 years old, Callee Hainline heard the words no one is ever ready for: “You have breast cancer.” As a single mom with a 2-year-old, she faced one of the most difficult journeys of her life — but she didn’t face it alone.

Because of her genetic risk and aggressive, triple-negative cancer, Callee made the courageous decision to undergo both a mastectomy and hysterectomy. Her strength, resilience and unwavering love for her child guided every step forward.

At St. Francis, Callee Hainline found more than just treatment — she found a dedicated team that walked beside her every step of the way, offering advanced medical care along with emotional support, guidance and hope. With compassionate, expert care close to home, she never had to travel far to receive the treatment she needed. Now, at 36, Callee is a survivor,a powerful testament to the life-changing impact of early detection, advanced treatment and community-based care.

Her story inspires us all to keep fighting, keep hoping, and keep showing up for one another.
